So I was at an after-movie dinner with a group of self-proclaimed "skeptics"last weekend, and one of them said (to somebody else at the table,apropos "alleged" anthropogenic global climate change), "Catastrophe? What exactly would constitute this 'catastrophe'?". And I butted inon this conversation and said "If it's **your** house that gets blownaway by the next hurricane, then it's a 'catastrophe'." And he said"But there's **no connection**!". And I said "I don't believe it."And that was the end of our exchange.

Oh, and more good news: the Coca-Cola company is funding researchthat will show unequivocally that guzzling fizzy brown high-fructosecorn syrup does **not** make people fat, if they just get offtheir fat asses and go to the gym. Ain't science (funded bycorporate capitalism) grand?
